We demonstrate the possibility of forming long-range-ordered self-assembled nanodot arrays with dots size of 5 nm and pitches of 10×7.5 nm2using guide line templates and low molecular weight (MW) (4,700–1,200 g/mol) poly (styrene)-poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PS-PDMS) for application in ultrahigh density patterned media. The self-assembled PDMS nanodots are controlled in a long range by varying the heights and gaps of the guide lines. Adopting the 14-nm-high resist guide lines with suitable gaps, the 5-nm-sized and 10×7.5 nm2-pitched self-assembled nanodots were ordered in maximum 7 dot arrays with long-range order. The experimental results demonstrate that the method is possible for achieving patterned media with magnetic recording densities of 8.6 Tbit/in.2using low MW PS-PDMS and slim guide lines.

Dissipative Particle Dynamics Simulation

AbstractAlthough a great deal of unique nanostructures were already obtained from polymer self-assemblies in terms of conventional parameters, the self-assembly under the confinement is still not well understood. Here, dissipative particle dynamics simulations were used to explore the self-assemble behaviors of linear ABC triblock copolymers under rigid spherical confinements. First several unusual morphologies, such as multilayer onion, coupled helix, and stacked lamella, were distinguished from the total 210 simulations. Second, the influences of three important parameters (block sequence, wall selectivity, and spherical radius) on the morphologies were discussed in detail. Finally, the dynamics evolution of several typical aggregates was examined. This simulation enriches micelle morphologies for the self-assembly of linear ABC triblock copolymers under rigid spherical confinements and is helpful to understand the formation of valuable nanostructures from linear ABC terpolymers.

AbstractNanoscale self-assembly, as a technique to transform two-dimensional (2D) planar patterns into three-dimensional (3D) nanoscale architectures, has achieved tremendous success in the past decade. However, an assembly process at nanoscale is easily affected by small unavoidable variations in sample conditions and reaction environment, resulting in a low yield. Recently, in-situ monitored self-assembly based on ion and electron irradiation has stood out as a promising candidate to overcome this limitation. The usage of ion and electron beam allows stress generation and real-time observation simultaneously, which significantly enhances the controllability of self-assembly. This enables the realization of various complex 3D nanostructures with a high yield. The additional dimension of the self-assembled 3D nanostructures opens the possibility to explore novel properties that cannot be demonstrated in 2D planar patterns. Here, we present a rapid review on the recent achievements and challenges in nanoscale self-assembly using electron and ion beam techniques, followed by a discussion of the novel optical properties achieved in the self-assembled 3D nanostructures.
